Function useTimeout

useTimeout(): [schedule: Schedule, cancel: (() => void)]

Returns the protocol that delays invoking a callback until after a timeout.

The delayed invocation is automatically cancelled on unmount.

The timeout should be started/stopped after the component is mounted. Before that, it is a no-op.

Returns [schedule: Schedule, cancel: (() => void)]

Example

const [schedule, cancel] = useTimeout();

useEffect(() => {
  // Cancels pending debounce and schedules the new call
  schedule(
    (a, b) => {
      doSomething(a, b);
    },
    500, // Timeout after which the callback is called
    a, b, // Varargs that are passed to the callback
  );

  // Cancels the last debounce call
  cancel();
}, []);
